2. of my reply covers your second problem.
<?php bb_new_topic_link('Add New Essay'); ?>
bb_new_topic_link is called without parameters in your front-page.php template file, but if you pass it the string ‘Add New Essay’ you will see the text in your displayed site change. You are overriding the default text which is in the bbPress core.
The reason you don’t find it in a template file is because it’s not there. The function is there, and is called without parameters. The default text is in the core, but you can override it in your template.
1. I cannot help you with and I questioned the desire to even do something like that. Why would you want an “add new” page indexed when it has no content? What benefit does it give your site?
I imagine you could probably do something to change that using mod_rewrite and your .htaccess file, but I don’t know how to do that.
I’ve fixed my problem.
Turns out my bbPress xmlrpc.php was the wrong filesize.
I uploaded the xmlrpc.php from the release package and now all is fine and dandy again!
still no luck. i created the “forums” folder and i go to http://mydomain.com/forums/bbpress for the installer. all i’m entering is the direct info for database name and user name. for instance, database name is mydatabase12345678 (this is the name my host set up) and my user name is the same as the datbase name. i then enter the password and i get the same error. a note, my site is url is http://mydomain.com/wordpress. i don’t know if having it located at the wordpress folder makes a difference or not. regardless, i don’t know what move to make next.
I’m using _ck_’s plugin and I’m running bbpress 1.0.1
Which read-only forum plugin are you using? And which version of bbPress are you on?
I have both the read-only forum and private messaging plugins installed. They both work fine independently, but when I have them both activated (with regular users not allowed to reply in any forums) users without admin privileges cannot send private messages. They can receive them, but the “send pm” link says to login even when they’re logged in, and going to the pm page and clicking the link to compose a new message brings up a blank page.
I tried this with and without the security hack on the private messaging plugin.
Any idea how I could fix this?
I have a link to my forum in my global nav by creating an empty page with a slug that is the same as the directory name as where I have bbpress installed.
But I also load the wp-load.php file in my bb-config.php file
define('WP_BB', true);
if ( !defined('DB_NAME') ) {
require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/../wordpress/wp-config.php');
}
$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_'; // your wordpress db prefix is
$bb->wp_home = 'http://www.trashfilmorgy.com/wordpress';
$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://www.trashfilmorgy.com';
Then I went into my bbpress theme and changed every instance of bb_get_header() with get_header(), and bb_get_footer() with get_footer().
Since I want to have my wordpress sidebars show up in the forum, too, I also added get_sidebar() right above the call to get_footer().
I could also add other sidebars, too – the theme I use adds two columns below the main content area and uses the dynamic sidebar functionality to add them in to each page. I could see how adding other or more sidebars and going in to the templates could be really useful
OK, I resolved this. I don’t understand why this worked like this, but here’s what I did.
I did a search on Google for “bbpress admin panel”. The very first results link I got back was to this article in the Troubleshooting forum. Turns out all I had to do was log out then log back in. Now everything works fine.
Thanks anyway.

Hi, I’m attempting to install bbpress on Windows Server 2003 Ent SP2, IIS6, MySQL 5.1.34 community, PHP 5.2.9-2:
I have followed this guide to installing & configuring PHP: http://www.peterguy.com/php/install_IIS6.html
Step 1 – bb-config.php succeeds
Step 2 – skipping wordpress integration as don’t have this installed
On clicking Goto Step 3, the installation doesn’t get anywhere and the browser returns:
“Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address. “
Any help please?
I have a website on which WPMU is installed. I downloaded BuddyPress & installed it. I went to set up a group & I was told to download & install bbPress. So I did.
I originally installed it in the bbPress folder, and I went through the install process. Then I decided I wanted the folder to be named forums, so I ended up deleting the bbPress folder. I used phpMyAdmin to remove the bbPress tables from my WordPressMU database. Then I created a forums folder, copied bbPress into it & went through the setup process again. Everything completed with no errors.
I set up the integration of database & cookies with WordPressMU. No errors were reported.
I can go into the one forum that the install process created & I can read it. Haven’t tried adding any posts to it or replying to the one post it created. I did, however, try going into the Admin page. It won’t open. I just keep getting sent back to http://churchonhigherground.org/forums/.
Any ideas?

Hi there,
Since I see a lot of activity about Tiny MCE recently and I needed such a plugin myself, I have created a simple Tiny MCE integration:
http://www.longwindyroad.com/2009/07/19/bbpress-plugin-tiny-mce-3-2-5/
It installs all the necessary hooks in once place and is easy to upgrade.
bbPress is NOT a plugin. You do NOT add it from your admin panel.
You install it as a separate program.
I just followed the installation wizard:
https://bbpress.org/documentation/installation/
What do I do wrong?
Sincerely,
Carsten
yes Tom, and they correspond!!!! i’ve put the exact code from the bbpress integration plugin… any idea?
Have you posted this in Trac? > https://trac.bbpress.org/
I’ve just reported this issue of HTML characters being displayed in edit post in Trac. (https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1158).
It looks like a minor bug in bbP rather than an issue with the plugin… although it could affect people who are trying to type HTML characters out in their code examples. That rarely happens on my forum though.
I have already installed the plugin bbPress Integration for WordPress. I can’t find anything wrong during my installation. I think maybe I need to upgrade my WPMU to 2.8.
sign~~
So I was able to take hybrid bits and pieces of what you posted above, and the .htaccess for 1.0.1, and get the forums working, but still no .css and no .js, and no access to the admin panel or any directory either. Seems if I navigate to the physical URL domain.com/forums/bb-admin/ I can get in, but forums.domain.com/bb-admin/ gives an internal server error and a 500.
Still troubleshooting.
Are you trying to install bbPress as a plugin in WPMU?
It’s a separate program… you have to install it separately.
Hi,
i’ve installed WP (not mu) 2.8.1 and bbPress 1.0.1 with user and cookie integration, users work without problem but the cookie not.
i’ve installed the bbpress integration plugin added the code to my wp-config.php but nothing change… the key are checked, i really don’t know how to resolve this… please help me… thanks!
crackpixels,
In bbPress Comments are generally called Posts.
I think the Posts column is set up by default.
In the Latest Discussions table, look for this cell: <th><?php _e(‘Posts’); ?></th>, which is the title of the column, and this:<td class=”num”><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>, which is the content of the comuns, displaying the number of Posts (Comments).
_ck_ and others were helpful in describing how to get Gravatars to display on the front page (works like a charm)
Show (gr)avatar on frontpage
What about getting Identicons, Wavatars and MonsterIDs to appear along with Gravatars on the front page?
(The Identicons, Wavatars and MonsterIDs show up inside posts, but they don’t want to show up on the front page using the method linked to.
Any thoughts?
Hello, I’m using wordpress + bbpress integrated and I want that the user profile page (for example, when you click on the profile in the comments) was the one for them both, preferably the WP profile page. Is there any plugins which makes this possible or may be someone could say how to do it, i think it’s not so difficult.
Thank you and sorry for my english.
